Veterinary Dental Cleanings Near You in Yakima, WA

Pet parents in Yakima, WA, understand the importance of their pets receiving dental care. While parents know a pet dental examination and teeth cleaning are going to be part of their health routine, pets may not be happy about the prospect. At Companion Animal Clinic, we make the process comfortable, safe, and painless by sedating your pet. This allows our vet to check for any dental conditions and do a thorough cleaning safely.

Benefits of Pet Dental Exam and Cleanings

Pets can't let us know they are experiencing pain or discomfort caused by a dental problem. This is why it is important to have regular dental exams. A professional dental cleaning by our veterinarian ensures plaque and tartar are removed, eliminating buildup that can result in dental problems leading to that pain.

What You Can Do at Home

As part of your pet's dental care, brushing his or her teeth is beneficial in removing bacteria and keeping your pet's teeth and gums healthy. It is also important to provide your pet with a balanced diet, which is good for your pet's overall health.

Pets love tasty dental treats and there are plenty of choices in types and flavors to entice your pet's taste buds. There are also chew toys designed to help enhance pet dental care.

When you schedule a dental appointment with our team, ask the veterinarian about your pet's diet and the type of treats he or she can have. If you want to attempt to brush your pet's teeth at home, ask the vet before about the best and safest process for you and your pet.
